  1. Since 2.0, I made sure all uniques were unique, because in vanilla there were plenty of uniques and legendaries that were clones of each other. That project didn't (fully) account for the uniques that were clones of rare items though. So to make uniques really, truly unique, I would need to either reduce the pool of rare designs, OR... add new models for uniques. Luckily dimitrius154 has done some work towards this so I can pursue the second option. These are the new designs will be in EE. I'm starting with shields. In vanilla almost all the unique shields also appear as magic or rare randoms. No more. * If there's any special objections to these being the designs I could always keep the original models and make the new models random rares instead. I think all of these fit better though. Most of have FX that makes them feel really special & "superior." Eternal Block - this thing has fine elements when you look close: skeletons dance around the centerpiece. Really has a feeling of "antiquity." Wall of Flames - Pics don't do this one justice. WIth the FX it really looks to be made of living flame. Glacial Defender - like the above, the new model seems to be made of shifting ice. Unyielding Wall Grunwald's Protection - the T-Energy effect flows in a circle, making the world serpent look like it's chasing its tail perpetually. The following join the lineup of rare shields. This is a very "High Elf" looking shield. This forcefield shield was made Silver Fox years ago for the CM Items Mod, I just never remembered to include it until now.

  2. Just installed Sacred 2 + Ice & Blood + CM-Patch 1.60 on my Laptop running Win10... God old days I ran into the same problem. UAC can be tricked: 1. run CMD as administrator. 2. right-click the patchfile holding the shift-button on your keyboard. The dialog will have an option like "copy as path". Use it. 3. now insert into the command window and hit enter. The patch will run now. I've got no idea why running the patch "as administrator" doesn't give the same result... CU Marcus

  4. @Dukemon Can you post a printscreen of the exact file name that's getting blocked? I'm looking through my game files and I cannot find any file named similarly to the one you just mentioned in your post. I'm unsure whether that's due to the fact I'm running a Steam installation. I have my original disks lying around somewhere... Thing is, I would have assumed it would be an easy fix, since you did get the game installed. Back in the days I had to flash the firmware of my optical drive to even get that far, since it would refuse to read the disks properly.

  5. Very smart ideas for the shields...these were great consumption for me alongside my coffee before work this morning...the ouroboros manifestation is my favorite (well that and the forcefield shield.. always been a sucker for those in Sacred) ..brilliant tying -n a racing glow of the t-energy with it trying to get its tail! gogo

  6. Yesterday evening at the table our third asked which was our favourite live concert. I said there was one before I met your mother when I was at vacances home at Wetzlar from army and I didn't know that there would be a concert. So I phoned army to be allowed to do a training with local volunteer firefighters. The training was to sit in a firetruck 8 metres from the stage for two days. So I got it all: stage build up, training sessions and testing sound and equipment, talking with the band and a signed photo for our firefighter club with us and the band. Think I have to visit my old firefighters after corona to show the pictures to my kids. Several covers, worst is by Metallica live in Amsterday, one of the best is the tribute to Golden earring by Rockwiz:

  8. Unfortunately I can't install the mod right now as I'm building the next release of Enhanced Edition on top of my install currently. As soon I can get that packaged I will resume on D2F development.

  9. Well it's been nearly 7 years since my last update in this thread, where I talked about my wish to add one more Dragon Mage set to the lineup, one titled "Mark of the Dragon" and themed after the Dragon Mage's class chain quest. I had the idea back then for the set item names, but no clear idea on what the modifiers should be, and more importantly, no good visual design. Yet another recolor of an existing set? Then, during D2F development, Pesmonits helped me import the Dragonscale armor from Skyrim. I created the scripts and prepared all the files right away. But the proportions were never quite right, and In the world of Ancaria, the textures seemed very drab and washed out. For years this armor languished simply as random rare armor parts that could be shopped or found as drops, in D2F only. Recently Dimitrius has generously adjusted the model and textures as well as cooking up some modifiers themed around melee combat. So now I can finally present to you the full armor set, "Mark of the Dragon" (upcoming in the next releases of Enhanced Edition and Diablo 2 Fallen). The modifiers are focused on Dual Wielding combat with melee weapons. Since EE 2.0, the final boss of the Dragon Mage's class quest, Varmin, has been sporting a blackened version of this armor. Varmin will also be benefiting from updated models and textures in the next release of Enhanced Edition:
